Default Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires

I'm in the market to replace my tires and was thinking of purchasing the Michelin Pilot Road 2's for my 2000 M750. Does anyone have any experience with these tires? If so, would this be a good choice for all around riding?

Should probably put this in Accessories and Mods or even Tech. This board is mainly for gear that you wear...

I've got about 1400miles or so on mine. I love them. They seem to turn in a bit easier than the Pirelli Diablos I used to run. They are very stable in a turn too. They seem to be wearing well so far.

If your dealer is as pricey as mine was at the time (I got them right after they got to the US), check out http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...reet-Bike.aspx

Pilot Road 2 Front Tire
MSRP $185.99-195.99
Sale $130.99-137.99

Pilot Road 2 Rear Tire
MSRP $228.99-289.99
Sale $160.99-202.99

Thanks for the feedback. I'm running Pirelli Diablos also and the bike seems to handle a bit squirrely. I wasn't sure if it's the brand or a defective front tire. After a few miles, the bike wobbles at slow speeds and is a little shaky in turns. I thought I would start by changing out the tires.

I put a michelin pilot road 2 on the front of my Triumph about 500 miles ago. So far it's a fine tire.
